WIP Wednesday

Wednesday already? I'm going to just get on with it since I am not feeling great today.

Completed:

Birthday present for a dear friend. At the time I posted about this, I had not given it to her yet. Now she has it and loves it! Plus we went out to lunch at a great Italian restaurant (which I am still eating leftovers from). I don't eat out much at all, so when I do it is a treat.

Progress Made:

Halloween Mini - I'm hanging my head on this one. I really thought I would have this finished - and would have if not for work on other projects. I do have it quilted and just have to put on the binding. I see no reason why this won't be a finish by next week.

Garter Stitch scarf - Still slowly knitting on this. It is taking forever and ever.

Swoon Mini - I have this one basted and ready to quilt. I'm only posting a little sneak peek because well, I can. I did also alter the pattern a bit and haven't seen anyone else do what I did. I want to finish mine before I share the entire thing. This is on deck after I finish binding my Halloween mini.

Sparkle QAL - Fabrics have been cut. I thought I might have time to start sewing, but didn't. At least I'm caught up with the instructions being posted so there's that at least.

Dessert of the Month Club - I did buy a linen for this and threads. This one is a year long project obviously, so I'm not going to rush this. No picture of the threads though. I'll try to remember to take one before I start stitching.

No Progress:

Drunkard's Path QAL - Trimming=torture right now for me.Sewing Machine CoverProject for Migration Blocks - can't decide how to quilt them. I need to decide this before the end of the month.Wedding Present (embroidered towels)Kaleidoscope QALZig Zag QALTangerine Tango Challenge - stalled until I get my Konas in the mail.2012 Color Challenge: January - Joann's didn't have all the solids I wanted to match the palette, so I've placed an online order. Not sure if they will come by the end of the month so I may dig through my scrap drawer.Curves Class (starts Feb 1st)For the Love of Solids Swap - partner assignment received and deciding on design/colors.Made in Cherry QAL - fabrics picked out and I will be joining in.Mouthy Stitches Swap - partner assignment received and am thinking about design ideas.Embroidery Journal Project - still thinking of what I am going to do for January.Embroidered Ornament setMini QT Swap - waiting on partner assignment.Project Quilting Challenge - the challenge this week is music based. I'm trying to decide on a song title to use as inspiration.

New:

Nothing! This is a first I think.
